PErERsoN's MAGAZINE for December is on
our table, and, highly as we have praised its
efforts this year. we can conscientiously say
that this closing number surpasses any of its
predecessors. The steel-Plate is one of the
finest that the magazine has ever given. and it
illustrates story of the last century. by Miss
EwelI. which is in itself worthy of great COM
meudation. The wood-engraving is a spirited
representation of a tobogganing-scene- The
fashiOn-pIates and other illustrations are of su-
pcriOr merit. and the literary portion of the
magazine deserves the highest praise.

A Handsome Display.

The display OF Christmas novelties
at Rawson's drug store attracts large
number Of spectators and the many
beautiful things are fully admired.
There are many unique and handsome
reminders of the season which are re-
markedly inexpensive considering
their character and quality. In var
ious ways the idea of utility and
beauty is united in some of the pretty
things shown. In books the display
is large and attractive one, and we
doubt if ever before Mr. Rawson has
had such an abundant supply. On
every subject, in every style, ard by
every class of writers, works abound
every taste may be gratitied and every
want Supplied from the gorgeously il.
.ustrated book down to the simplest
narrative. BY such provision literary
culture is stimulated, and social enjoy
ment advanced. TO be brief, through
ont the store there is a wonderful com
bination of art and enterprise, o
beauty and pleasure. Alike foT boil
profit and pleasure we advise all tC
visit the store, and invest in the pur
chase of some of the beautiful treas
ures which are offered to the.r gaze.
